Blue Diary by Alice Hoffman

2.0

So disappointed with this book. I've really enjoyed the other books by Alice Hoffman that I've read, but this one just didn't seem as well written. The premise is great, and presents real questions about wrongdoing and how one makes amends. It also points out how one person can impact many lives around them - for better and for worse. But there is so much to explore here that just isn't played out in the novel, including a teasing attempt to add some magic realisim and some very unrealistic actions by law enforcement officials.
